The church and its secrets

Former President of Ireland Mary McAleese gave an extensive interview on RTE Radio's Sean O'Rourke Show today.

She spoke about how her own brother had been sadistically abused by the late Fr Malachy Finnegan in the 1970s.

She was not expecting to be asked about the subject.

At one stage she said: "All the secrets are supposed to be out."

Her comments on the Legionaries of Christ were informative and interesting.

The previous day Sean Faloon, a victim of Fr Finnegan, spoke on RTE News.

His story was horrific.

Secrecy and the church.

Indeed, the secrets, but the underlying issue was not discussed.
